Welcome reader to my blog - a mixture of this and that. Now that we are living in a retirement community in downtown Columbia, MD my personal gardening activities are somewhat curtailed. I still enjoy visiting gardens, reading, watching wildlife on my walks, traveling, and occasional food commentary. Please leave a comment if you feel inspired to do so. I read every one of them.

Tally - Ho!

Isn't that what's called on a fox hunt? What does the fox call when it hunts?

We've been seeing the fox in the last week just passing through along the edge of the glen heading east each time.

This morning it was hunting in the backyard. First it went for the mourning doves under the bird feeder then chased a squirrel that found refuge climbing one of the beams on the deck.

It obviously was hungry and took off running after something then returned twice.

I've never seen a fox in person. This is as close as I have ever seen one. It's a very beautiful animal. Of course, there is the obligatory reference to that crazy song....'what does the fox say', LOL!
